“Intracranial Space Neoplasms may be benign or
malignant and primary or metastatic
Occupying Lesions”
Non-neoplastic lesions
Inflammatory causes: Abscess,
Tuberculoma, Syphilitic gumma, fungal
Granulomas.
Parasitic infections: Cysticercosis,
Hydrated cyst, amebic abscess,
Schistosoma japonicum.
Traumatic brain injury: Subdural &
Extradural hematoma.
Congenital causes: Dermoid, Epidermoid,
Teratoma.
Distribution of 200 cases of intracranial
space-occupying lesions

Age Groups
Less than 20: 7.3%
20 to 40: 64.7%

•Headache •CN lesions Temporal Lobe:Behavioral changes,
•Nausea,Vomiting •Horner's Syndrom Depersonalization, Hallucinations,
•Seizures •Cerebellarsigns Quadrantanopia, Complex partial or generalized
seizures
•Personality
Frontal Lobe :Personality changes, Hemiparesis,
changes Expressive aphasia, Anosmia
•Memory loss Parietal Lobe:Spatial disorientation, Hemisensory
•Motor deficits loss, Receptive aphasia, Hemianopia
•Sensory deficits Occipital Lobe :Contralateral hemianopia
•Deficits of speech Cerebellum: Ataxia, Dysmetria, Nystagmus
or vision Cerebello-pontine angle (Acoustic
•Papilledema neuroma):Ipsilateral deafness, Tinnitus,
Nystagmus, Ipsilateral cerebellar signs, Facial and
Trigeminal palsies
Pituitary tumors:Endocrine symptoms, Visual
defects
(a)Brain Axial scan showing increased subarchnoid space in posterior fossa with
endosteal scalloping, vermis and cerebellar hemispheres are intact- Mega cistern
magna.(b)Axial scan NCCT brain showing a well-defined extra-axial hypodense lesion
with CSF density in the temporal region- Arachnoid cyst
(a)Axial NCCT brain showing hyperdense lesion having blood attenuation with
perilesional edema in the right gangliocapsular region-Hypertensive Bleed.Significant
midline shift is noted towards contralateral side(b)Axial NCCT brain showing hyperdense
linear lesions with associated intracerebral hemorrhage and edema- arteriovenous
malformation related hemorrhage
(a) Axial CECT brain showing multiple hypodense lesions showing ring enhancement
with thinner medial walls in a patient with otomastoiditis- brain abscesses (b) Axial
CECT brain showing multiple ring enhancing lesions in both cerebellar regions and
perilesional edema, likely tuberculomas.
(a) Axial CECT brain showing a well-defined hypodense non-enhancing lesion in fronto-
parietal region with minimal mass effect-Low grade astrocytoma. (b) Axial CECT brain
showing a large ill-defined hypodense intra-axial lesion in left temporoparietal regions
with increased peripheral and central vascularity with perilesional edema -High grade
astrocytoma.
(a, b) Axial NCCT & CECT Brain showing an ill defined hypodense lesion in right
cerebello pontine angle with perilesional edema.Widening of the internal auditory
meatus was noted.Moderate contrast enhancement was seen in it-Schwanoma
(a, b) Axial CECT brain showing multiple hyperdense lesions in a known case of renal
cell carcinoma-Hemorrhagic metastasis
